Bolt Action Boot Camp: Saturday
Battle Report: British Vs Japanese Final Round
The final round began and the Japanese still held onto the objective. Philip was lucky enough to win the first activation and immediately used it on the veteran infantry by the glider. However, all the pin markers they had gathered the turn before worked against them and they failed their morale.
Philip wasn't disheartened though and instead declared a Banzai charge with his inexperienced infantry on Ryan's remaining rifle squad. The riflemen fired at the advancing Japanese and managed to take out four, including the NCO, whose sword would have given the unit an extra attack. Despite a close fight though, the Japanese won and obliterated the Brits.
Buoyed up by the victory of the infantry, the lone suicide anti-tank team charged the British Cromwell with his mine on a stick. He was less lucky though and was mowed down before he could get close enough.
The British continued to pour their firepower into the Japanese veterans holding the objective, steadily bringing their numbers down. Still, they didn't manage to get them to budge and the unit remained in place at the end of the game despite having been reduced to three men.
Unfortunately for the Japanese, this was not enough to score them a victory and the game ended at a very hard fought draw. Still, at least the Japanese commanders managed to get rid of the Brit's annoying medic.
That medic though.
It seems the Japanese are a pretty good army to get…

Love the medic blurb. I’m interested in a Japanese army now. Dam you boot camp!!!!!
That would tally 5 armies for me 🙁
Enjoyed following your report of the game. Banzai and suicide anti tank squad has peeked my interest.
Tough outing for the tommies
good gaming from both parts. A draw is a good result.
Ouch!
Banzai!!
My para medic always seems to leave his kit home. He does great work with double pistol shots though! I think he secretly wants to be a standard infantryman.
Well fought!
lovely writeup of what seems a hard-fought game.
Imagine some hawker selling “mine onna stick!” at the races!
